Closer look at the drain. we dug teh pit right unter the berm wall, filled it with small stones, the coverit in a silt cloth , and added more rock on top of that ,

Splat,

Thanks to you and the burly crew that showed up. It looks like you really had some motivated folks. One of these days I'll actually get down that way to see what we purchased and what all the hubbub is about. I'll have to get some body armor first!

Thanks again,
Alf
